The Vacheron Constantin Malte Chronograph collection was first introduced in 2004, replacing the firm’s Chronograph Historique line while making an impression with the atypical oversized diameter. The collection remained in production until 2009, and has become highly sought after in the world of horology.

In 2006, Vacheron Constantin introduced the special “Malte Chronograph Collection Excellence Platine”, which was a limited edition run of 75 watches cased in platinum. This exclusive series was fitted with a graceful sandblasted dial sparkling in platinum, sporting a classic chronograph design with an outer telemeter scale, the applied white gold markers and Maltese cross in high polish shimmers with added depth to the appeal of this modern design. Its robust 41.5mm case features fan-shaped lugs and a sapphire crystal caseback for collectors to admire the high-grade manual-wind caliber 1141.

The present example is number 20 of this series and is preserved in excellent overall condition. This watch comes with the complete package including the original certificate, presentation box, leather wallet, instruction manual and service booklet, as well as the Vacheron Constantin Certificate of Authenticity confirming the timepiece from 2006. With this exceptional rarity, large case size and modernity, this piece will make the perfect addition for any discerning Vacheron Constantin collector.
